hey, Mickey. i am not familiar with most of the items recommended ut i do own an axiom 49. It is very playable. i love the key size and look, but using it for more advanced stuff in logic pro has been too much for my novice self. i've decided to see and buy a novation sl37. it is almost made for logic and has an installer which puts it in the supported controller list. it's not cheap ($500), though. the novation le series also as templates for logic and you can et them for about $100-$150. I would go with anything but m-audio at this point. they don't seem support logic users much. novation is fully running circles around these guys. good luck. -roostr
